I started getting eczema on my chest a couple of years ago. Until now, it's always gone away quite quickly after a flare up, after I use hydrocortisone (1%) on the skin. But this time, it's not going, and it's SO damn itchy!! It's driving me mad!! And to make it worse, I'm off on my hols in a couple of weeks time, and I'm gonna look minging in my bikini at this rate, with big horrible scratch marks all around my boobs! Please, please, please give me any tips you have for making eczema better!!

Aside from that, try just normal moistuisers, non-scented ones. My doctor recently gave me Hydrocortisone, but I didn't think it was very effective (probably help if I remembered to put it on right enough!), but everyones different.
Hope I've been of some help!
